Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes May 18, 2010 Page 3 1 Chair Jensen closed the public hearing at 7:32 p.m. 2 3 Ms. Thomas and Mr. Wenkus answered questions of the Planning Commission on the site plan 4 amendment and stated the following positions in relation to questions of the Planning 5 Commission: 6 • Consideration of a map style directional sign in lieu of some of the smaller signs: 7 Individuals that walk to Silver Lake Village are aware of what is located at the center. 8 The requested signage is meant to get the use of Silver Lake Road. There have not been 9 requests made in the tenant surveys for map style directional signage, and it would not 10 likely get to the heart of what is being attempted with the signage modifications being 11 requested, which is to bring people in to the center and have the shoppers see what is 12 there. 13 • Potential for splitting signs to include additional tenants: The goal is to eliminate split 14 signage. 15 • Addition into the end column of the existing monument sign on Silver Lake Road: It was 16 determined that this would detract from what is currently on the existing monument. 17 18 Ms. Thomas indicated a positive response to the potential of including the Park on directional 19 signage. 20 21 Chair Jensen verified with Ms. Thomas that the Freedom Gas Station sign is not under the 22 control of Doran Companies, and that the Applebee's sign is included in their lease. The 23 directional signage for Cub and Walmart is included in the master lease. These signs could be 24 amended to include additional tenants as long as Cub and Walmart remain on the signs. 25 26 Chair Jensen expressed suggested a preferred location for directional signage would be at the 27 Caribou Coffee corner, rather than the corner of the Freedom Gas Station as proposed. 28 29 Chair Jensen requested staff to work with the applicant to ensure the appropriate exhibits are 30 referenced and included with the PUD Amendment. 31 32 Chair Jensen suggested moving this item forward with a separate motion on the directional 33 signage. 34 35 Motion was made by Commissioner Cincoski, seconded by Commissioner Niccum, to 36 recommend approval of the Amendment to the PUD Sign Plan for Silver Lake Village as 37 follows: To amend the total number of signs at Silver Lake Village from four(4) to six (6) 38 ground signs, to amend the existing Cub pylon signage by allowing two additional tenants, and 39 to modify the architectural character of the existing ground monument signs as proposed, subject 40 to the findings included in the May 18, 2010 staff report, and substantiating exhibits. 41 42 Motion adopted 4-2-1 (Poucher and Chaput opposed, Chair Jensen abstained). 43 44 Commissioner Heinis stated his support of locating the directional sign at the Caribou Coffee 45 corner, rather than the corner of Freedom Gas Station.
